Owning your own domain for email purposes:
3 step process ...
1) Buy your domain
Example domain name registration costs (per year):
Google ($10) -- they use an 3rd party to do this -- use link below to start process
godaddy (http://www.godaddy.com/)($13)
hover (http://www.hover.com/)($13.50) -- use discount code DANSENTME to get this price
domainsatcost (http://www.domainsatcost.ca/)($15)
Many others exist out there. This is just a sample.
